I'm sure this has been discussed many times in this thread and I know I'm super late to the show, but I finally got around to watching X-Men Apocalypse. Having a baby will pretty much put everything you love to do on hold...... I just gotta say this. As a long time X-Men fan (and one that still purchases X-Men comics till this day), this movie SUCKED.

Such a disappointment. Deadpool got it right because first, they got that look down perfectly ( which was really important in the Avengers/Iron Man franchise) and the stuck to a simple script that was true to the character. X-Men fails to do that every time. We got teased with some suits at the end but fans want to see more. The visuals are the first things that attracted us to these characters in the first place and the awesome stories over the years made us stay. The Apocalypse story was boring. And of course, he looked stupid. Simple as that. The only good parts where the Quicksilver scene and the Weapon X scene and that was it.


I'm really hoping the next news about an X-Men movie is a complete and total reboot. Spiderman has done it twice and also, we don't need any more origin stories.

So disappointed!
 
Agree on that except I expected it to be bad so I couldn't be disappointed.

Also even the first X-Men movie isn't an origin. First Class kinda is.
 
First Class Was The Best One, Best Use Of Everyone's Powers, & Best Costume Design Across The Board. Cannot Believe The Trash *** Helmets They Gave Magneto After That Final Scene [emoji]128531[/emoji][emoji]128545[/emoji]
 
Could apocalypse had been better. Yes. But the movie all together was entertaining.

And 3 pages ago. Amel and I are mortal enemies. Cap is our one mutual humanity
 
‘X-Men’ Drama Nears Pilot Order At Fox

Fox has yet to order its first pilot this January. Among the scripts that are heating up is the action-adventure X-Men series written by Burn Notice creator Matt Nix. Early versions of the script had been received enthusiastically at Fox as well as producing studios 20th Century Fox TV and Marvel TV. Fox chairman Gary Newman noted to Deadline that he expects the final draft to come in shortly and a pilot pickup within the next week or two. Exploratory casting already is underway, with the process expected to ramp up once the official greenlight comes.

The untitled series, which had a put pilot commitment, focuses on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive. The show appears particularly timely, dealing with the plight of minorities in society.

The X-Men series is one of two marquee superhero dramas with big commitments at Fox this season, along with DC/Warner Bros TV’s Black Lightning. A pending pickup for X-Men has no bearing on Black Lightning. The two series easily could coexist together, Fox entertainment president David Madden said.
 
Hope Its Not Just A "Mutant" & Its Actually A Character Of Importance

Fox network is up and down with their scripted shows. Some are great to good, others are average and by the numbers, then the truly trash slop.

Kinda crazy they can have a night with Black Lightning and a X-Men show on back to back.
 
They need to branch out and start doing other storylines, like Inferno. Hoping New Mutants might lead to that eventually.
 
Fox's New X-MEN TV Series Will Be Set In The Movie Universe And Will Feature Some "Familiar" Characters


Yesterday's news that Fox's upcoming X-Men series would be moving forward as a "family drama" about a human couple and their mutant children going on the run had everyone wondering if it would be set in the same universe as the movies, and speculating as to which characters would be involved. Well, showrunner Matt Nix was very forthcoming with those answers while speaking to reporters during the Television Critics Association Winter press tour (via THR).

Nix confirmed that while FX's Legion exists outside of movie continuity (though that actually contradicts what we've previously heard), his show will indeed be set in the same "general universe."

"A fan of the movies but also the comics would not be disoriented at all as to where this fits in the mythology," he said. "If you look at the movies, which take place from — they started in 2003 to now — they don't all line up perfectly. I'm not slavishly fitting them into a particular slot. But at the same time, if you like the world of the movies, there are definite nods to the movies. It exists in the same general universe."

Nix also reveals that he will be utilizing some new characters, but that we will also see a few familiar faces:

"I get to invent some. It's designed to sidestep questions like, 'Where is Wolverine?' You have to answer those questions. I didn't want to do anything where it's like, 'Wolverine is just off-screen.' It exists in a world where those questions are answered without needing to name a lot of names or spend a lot of time dwelling on that issue. Within that, there are a certain amount of [familiar] characters that I can use and am using and then other characters I'm inventing — but everything is invented with a nod toward the existing mythology.
